CREDITS
CHRISTOS PASSALIS (SON) graduated from the State Theatre School of Northern
Greece and is a founding member of the theatre company Blitz, where he works as co-
director, actor and writer. His feature film credits include Black Field and Homeland.
The idea for Dogtooth came from speculating about the future of family. How would it
evolve in the future (if it evolved at all), and what would happen if this social organism
ceased existing as we know it? What would someone do to preserve it at any cost, and
what would that do to the people involved? How distorted can bodies and minds become
after being confined and shaped?
We worked with the actors more physically and verbally rather than intellectually. We
were trying to figure out what would happen to the most fundamental and basic things,
like language and words and common sense, if they were put in this very specific and
different situation — where would that lead, and what practical problems would be
faced?
The world of Dogtooth takes place whenever you imagine it to be. There are no factual
elements that tell you if this happened today or sometime long ago or in the future.
